[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avformat/tls_openssl: fix warnings when openssl is lower version

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Jack Lau via ffmpeg-devel:
> api doc: https://docs.openssl.org/1.0.2/man3/BIO_s_mem
> 
> In higher versions (openssl 1.0.2 and higher),
> the function signature is BIO *BIO_new_mem_buf(const void *buf, int len),
> so passing a const string doesn't cause an warnings.
> However, in lower versions of OpenSSL,
> the function signature becomes BIO *BIO_new_mem_buf(void *buf, int len),
> which leads to warnings.
> 
> OpenSSL guarantees that it will not modify the string,
> so it's safe to cast the pem_str to (void *) to avoid this warning.

#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10002000L /* OpenSSL 1.0.2 */
    BIO *mem = BIO_new_mem_buf((void *)pem_str, -1);
#else
    BIO *mem = BIO_new_mem_buf(pem_str, -1);
#endif

would have the advantage that it avoids the useless initialization and
that the old code can be cleanly removed when we drop support for old
versions of openssl. Same for above.
